TUKF NOTES. I (By Zetland). THE HUNT OLUB MEETING. The Wairarapa Hunt Club meeting, to be held on the Taratahi course, to-day, will be largely attended, as considerable interest is being evinced iu the gathering. The officials of the club are enthusiastic in the matter of success being assured, and, from a sporting point of view, a very enjoyahle afternoon's raoing should result. Good fields will be seen out in nearly every event. Bookmakers will be licensed to bet fit a fee of £5 5a each, and a fair volume of business will be dealt with, as the various events are decidedly of an open character as regards the selection of probable winners. The first event is set down for 12.30 p.m. The following may run the most forward in their engagements:— Hunters' llurdles—Kiug Bay and Stargazer. Hack L'lat- War Dog and St. Brandon. Taratahi Steeplechase—Merry legs and General. Hack Flat Lavinia and Star Queen, WairarapiiSteeplechaeu—Remnetto and Yeoman. Ladies' Bracelet Thresa and Tattoo. Hunters' Plat—Black Oil and Kemnette.

A number of horses were worked at th 9 Opaki course, yesterday morning, on the new plough gallop, j which was iu good order considering Jihe rain that fell on Sunday and | Monday. The new grubber ordered I a few days ago has already proved the right thing for the work required of it. Within a few days the plough gallop will be most satisfactory to traibere, and now that training facilities are improved, the Masterton horses may be depended upon to score at least a fair percentage of wins this season. R. Knox's team was out before breakfast. The various members of the stable are looking well. Those worked after breakast were Dick Turpin, Lissa, Torpedo fills, Fraser, Thera, Stargazer, Wild Cat, Sootah Reel, Taleteller, Sun bonnet, Master Agnes gelding, Lady Pet, aud Officer gelding. Saracen has been purchased by Mr Walter Tully, of Greytown, and will therefore remain in this district. Chief Coramaude', by Vcltigeur —Miaobief, was sold by auction at Martinborougb on Tuesday for 35 guineas,
